Flexible extruded piping for use between adjacent panels of luggage or the like. Shoulders extending outwardly from the sides of the tubular portion are of a different color than that of the exposed tubular portion to provide a color trim. The shoulders stabilize the piping to prevent twisting of the piping around corners, thereby maintaining the neat appearance of the trim. The different colored parts of the piping are formed by coextruding different colored plastic material.

In a luggage container or the like, comprising adjacent panels the outer faces of which are separated by flexible piping the flexible piping comprising a tubular portion at least part of which is exposed to view, and leg means extending from the tubular portion internally of the luggage container, the adjacent edge portions of the adjacent panels being attached to the leg means of the piping, the improvement comprising: a shoulder extending outwardly from each side of the tubular portion of the piping, the shoulders acting to stabilize the piping against twisting when exposed to torsional stress; the outer faces of the adjacent panels abutting the piping below the shoulders so that the shoulders are visible, and wherein the exposed tubular portion is formed of a wall the thickness of which is less than the thickness of the shoulders.
